CBA!

The Math CBA is tomorrow so make sure your student gets a good nights sleep!

Sundials

Today began our study on shadows. We made a sundial and we are going to observe it druing different parts of the day to see how the shadows change. We will learn how people used these long ago before we had clocks to tell the time. Here are a few pictures us observing today!

Here is Caden's Water Molecule's Journey. (sorry it's sideways!)

Math homework!

Your student should have come home yesterday with a problem solving packet. It is a good way to prepare for the CBA we will take on Wednesday. It is due on Tuesday!

Our blog at your fingertips!

I love how this student has our blog on his homescreen!

Zoo program

Because we did such a good job with the Smith Stampede the PTA treated us with a visit from the Dallas Zoo! It was a neat program with a lot of interesting animals that we learned a lot of facts about! I only got pictures of 2 of them because I had to leave for a meeting.
This is an owl. We learned that it's eyes are as big as ours and that it only weighs 3 pounds even though it looks much bigger because of all it's feathers. Her favorite food is skunk. It's a good thing she can't smell! We also got to meet this alligator. When is grows up it is going to be 16 feet long! The other animals we met were: an armadillo, a sloth and another bird. Ask your student what they learned!
